The legendary Jack Brogan, CFD.

Firefighter Jack Brogan retired from the Cambridge FD in 2018. He and two of his brothers followed in their father's foot steps to become members of CFD. Jack was was the last member of the family to retire. Each of them provided decades of faithful and dedicated service. Jack is shown here operating Ladder 4's aerial at a multiple-alarm fire in East Cambridge around 1987. At the time, they were operating a Pirsch 100' tractor-drawn aerial. The fire was in a in a 3-story wood-frame with similar exposures abutting it. The fire was held to the building of origin. Rumor has it that Jack has now joined the Newfield Maine VFD and accepted the role of training officer. Best wishes on your new position! Be gentle!!
